Sitrep

…………..Sunray this is not a civilian,

And sunray this is my sitrep!

I can hardly contain my rage,

Could eat me a chinnook

All battered and hailed in bullets

And fekk it,

No-one knows me,

No-one knows the ...

To the Rescue

To The Rescue

On certain days, it never

Ceased to drizzle,

The break in cloud, the days of

Sunshine more uncertain

Than his political convictions!

The conversations always

Mocked him, for there would be

Days he would dress for winter and;

The Sun would briefly show itself,

Making parod...

Once Upon the Darkness

Once Upon the Darkness

He didn’t ask,

Or warrant anything restrictive in

His movement,

He only longed his freedom!

But the constrictions of his mind

Placed jealously by the soulless

Who played him like toy;

Kept his manner – boy.

He didn’t n...

Salt of The EARTH

Salt of The EARTH

It moves slowly down

The highest of brow’s,

Taken like metal to magnet;

A floor where the highest of intellects,

Rejoins the races in spaces

Not the largest of wallets escape.

She sits pretty,

High on high claiming the

Food of adoration o...

POLICE - DO NOT CROSS

POLICE – DO NOT CROSS

The mine tape seals off

Regions where life premature of death

Ceased unwittingly to be,

And nobody knows till gossip

From drones touches their tongues –

Favouring importance,

And fantasies of fame (to be seen).

But ask yourself this

While carrying your knife,

Ask in ...

She Glides Like Snowgoose

She Glides Like a Snow Goose

She glides like a Snow Goose

Yet black as Ace of spades,

Flies like a Snow Goose above the exercise yard

And if by some quirk of fate I catch

A glimpse of wings outstretched

Beyond the high walls and barbed wire,

I’ll know our child is saved.

Within myself I’m burie...

The Answered

The Answered

Mother Earth is blushing,

Quiet now her voice,

For far off from a distant

Galaxy her pulse is caught,

Soothed and slowed,

Owed reception of her feelings and,

Her honesty.

It’s difficult to know One’s

Beauty while weeping all alone,

Now leagues away in seas of space

A chariot is draw...

Auryn's Heartbeat

Auryn’s Heartbeat

We are neither always good, or all powerful,

We are not the strength of fossil bone,

We are not the taking of each death

To ends of Earth,

We are not as individuals – the globe!

We are not infinite, immortal or timeless

Within a shroud of silence,

We Once Was Animal

We Once Was Animal!

Forty years it took to make it,

Forty years of bashing heads against walls,

Forty years in the making and baking in the Sun;

A hazard symbol weeps while roaming Earth.

Who cracked the first blow upon

The cherub whose vision of a devil

Forms the shape of mum?

A Taboo ...

Divine

Divine

You couldn’t help yourself,

You just had to have a look,

A sneak preview of a boy without trouble,

A double and take of his life.

He scared you!

Taking each shame that you threw

Like balls to a skittle still,

He never went kilter, or keeled

Under pressure, he never ventured

Your lie for his truth.

Ode to the Pianist

Ode to the Pianist

Tortured souls are found in every

Façade of a frown,

Until the wake up call is sound!

When cradling the blade within the hand,

When the revolver has just the one round,

When the paracetomol seeks a hundred to swallow,

And the scag is loaded to fade;

Will then they know that you in your ho...

Wetherspoons

“I been a better man in my time!”

Said he to himself at the bottom of glass,

His leather of features all ruddy and harsh.

He built the city,

The tall buildings and numerous shops,

“I built this city”

Said he serenely back to his past.

Scarred amongst place...

Tickle _ Hurt

Tickle – Hurt

It’s more than this,

More than deserts, rocks, swamps

And oceans,

It’s more than every wishful

Thought that bounds the minds

Of People’s,

It’s more than meams,

Or dreams.

It’s more than breathless,

It’s more than wordless on the lips –

With everythi...

Moving Down the Line

Moving Down the Line

Walking now,

Walking head down –

Close to host of ghost like

State,

Yet only around the tired

Wooden floors of a rented home

As I’m placed unwittingly under

House arrest and I detest this

Passing of a wasted time,

Blinded by grey while

Rain slashes harsh upo...

Prayer to K-PAX

Prayer to K-PAX

Hey Prot,

Are you there blue?

Are you there above the clouds

That piss the take on a planet full of hate,

Are you around?

Or are you hiding behind the sun

That never shines?

This city, this damned wretched city

With all its shitty deeds, does it beckon you

Like an angel to a song,

For we only sing here now when

The hour says drinks are down ...

.................And I Say Unto Thee!

“………And I Say Unto Thee”

There is a coward clinging like

A child upon the breast,

His mindset beset with difficulty

Of shaking other hands,

His plans weak,

Weak while sat

Upon his mothers lap ��" tethered

To the apron of a vacant hookers

Station ��" a vagrant of a mirth

Where worth for fellow nations

Like the hol...

Part Nine (Final)

Part Nine

………..yet, the crying never stops,

Defiantly I wait to be the pax,

But the hercy bird to freedom

Seems forgotten in the past,

And with the twilight of every

Starlit night, the memories of

Kurdistan come flooding back,

A deluge down a tired track

Warms a path upon my face, and

With haste I take a chemical

Remedy and know the

Nightmares are inbound,

And a s...

Part Eight

……….time carries wounded –

Carries hearts and carries corpses,

Carries a wind upon the cheek to

One day look away,

For the visionary and imagery

Of infants starved of love,

Can only cut the man so much,

A finite - an incapacity

To Man’s excusing inhumanity,

For one day, I had to save myself,

Turn away for just a moment

For a future genera...

……….far beneath the whir of metal

Canvas city’s sprawl,

And far beneath the tick of time

The healing never comes,

Never feels the heart that’s broke

Of every soldier shunned,

Guilty of the gun;

a longing

For the days of innocence

Before murder set its stall,

Shadows every act,

A harrow for a loathsome job,

An occupation of the fact…...

……….these passing hours of night,

These lightning bolts where Always strikes,

This time of dying flight,

These wings an Angel fly upon

Takes humanity from the Earth,

And versed in sordid nightmares,

I’m wondering,

Are we yet alive?..........

Part Four

Part Four

……….bone and skin became the

Battleground to keep - as weeping

Faces saved the smile

For cameras of joy; no toy

To court the tragedy!

Children begged the rations

And scattered on a Martian soil

We existed here alone,

Each day a tired persistence

Of forgotten memories of families,

And as desert spewed another catalyst -

A catastrophe of hearts,...

…………every day Op Haven

Took its toll, no negligence of tourist

But a deepening of the soul,

For every day the Green Berets

Brought casualties of war to home,

A splintered rock inside the

Chest crumbled, gave birth its melancholy

To a clown without a voice,

And lost to challenges of Dopamine,

Adrenaline at cost.

Children, women, men!

Nowhere to be found

And though the thirst now

Never fully quenched,

Salt tears down cheeks

The Kurdish children didn’t see

Tip the tongue – emotions still intact,

The heart this soldier sent upon

Vacation – like the hidden notion

Of a holiday; blank upon

The mind but there beneath,

A second away from digging deep

A surface of remi...

My home is now of rocks,

The only entrance to this land by giant

Birds of war,

Chinooks are pretty

When homesick blues

Beg a hitch to paradise,

But work, stress, tension

Steals each heroine to

Endure the heat,

Feed the displaced

Population; retrieve hidden notions

That one day,

Have you stepped foot in Africa –

And felt the fragile soul of Earth?

And witnessed the devastation of their homes,

Have you seen imprisoned on false conviction

Has the dereliction of their lives

By western world clandestine,

Down a land beset with

Mines that destroy

Families and cattle,

The soul, my thought upon

Be further down the road of

It told the tales of deepest truths

Yet mirrored through the aperture,

The wonder lust

Remains and all who shirk

Turning backs on words sincere,

Conspiracies exist,

The Feminine Beauty

In every child a light

Defying Keats shines, and every

The child beneath the baby blues.

A Mothers aspirations an affirmation

Of her soul and back and forth,

Nor is it metamorphic

Sedimentary or igneous, like

Ghetto strength,

Oozing from a cruising

In shiny Cadillac and flats,

Leave by left and right down

In steps two by two and blues,

Foot stomping arse kicking

Finger clicking two tone views keeps

The bigots blessed by one hit

Nazi wonders far far away.

Love Poem

Love Poem

How can I begin to understand the depths of you?

Your words that imbue shock and awe,

how do we reach together new horizons

when I'm raw, each time you glide serenely,

into the room,

these glass nerves that shatter every day

we spend together; tethered to the walls,

replaced and patched so you cannot see

this pain of imprisonment;

the pure love hard to express,
